Calling all DM’s & Game Runners!

Calling all DM's and Game Masters - if you're attending Y-Con this year and you’d like to run a TTRPG session, maybe a one shot or mini adventure let us know! πŸ˜ƒ It can be any system you like and want to introduce to the community. We want to help you run it and bring your Dungeon Master Skills to the table.
In addition we are putting the names of all those that host a Role Playing session into a draw for a really cool prize.
Please let us know by emailing our gaming coordinator Matthew Hiltz hiltzmatthew0@gmail.com or filling our our gaming table reservation form. 🎲

Raffle Auction Donations are now being accepted!

We're excited to share that this year our Y-CON raffle auction proceeds will be going to the Meadowfields Community School playground project with non-perishable goods also being accepted for the Yarmouth Food Bank!
Meadowfields Community School is fundraising for a brand new playground - with their current one in dire need of replacement. The school and community are currently not permitted to use it due to safety guidelines. Individual schools are responsible for funding their own improvement projects.
We will also be supporting the Yarmouth Food Bank by accepting donations of non-perishable goods at the registration desk. Not only will you be helping out those in need, we will also give you a free ticket to enter in the raffle auction - up to 10 tickets, more items generously accepted!
The raffle auction is an annual part of YCON where attendees have the opportunity to buy raffle tickets on all sorts of incredible donated items. Interested in donating item(s) and learning more? Fill out our form today.
